Composer David T. Little of Weehawken has been named the digital composer-in-residence at DilettanteMusic.com, an online classical music hub, following its global competition that began in June. Little was chosen as a finalist after submitting works and being judged by an international panel representing five cities in America and Britain, whose members included composers Nico Muhly and Anna Meredith.

Little was selected from among three finalists (the others being Canadian composer Aaron Gervais and Taiwanese composer Chaiyu) by an audience vote. Fans voted based on works of each composer recorded by the London Sinfonietta and uploaded, and the competition culminated in an event at Wilton’s Music Hall in London, during which the composers’ music was played alongside works that influenced each of them.

As composer-in-residence, Little will interact with Dilettante members with a “Composer’s Corner,” promoted and directly linked from the site’s homepage, a podcast series, online master classes, and forum discussions. The year-long residency will conclude with a live performance of his work, at a date and venue to be announced.

Little’s winning composition was “1986” for string quartet, based on the tune “My Grandfather’s Clock,” which Little played in a fife and drum corps while growing up in New Jersey.
